Likelihood to Recommend	Comcast SmartOffice is perfect for a small/remote office. It's very cost-effective and the bandwidth and WiFi options are perfect for a small office. Incentivized Phil Blake Director of IT Read full review	They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.
